Quinones. Part 9. Side-chain Alkylthiolation of Methyl-1,4-naphthoquinones

2-Methyl-1,4-naphthoquinones react with an excess of sodium methanethiolate to give methylthiomethyl derivatives.Corresponding products were obtained, but in lower yield, using α-toluene- and toluene-p-thiolates.With 3-chloro-2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone and methanethiolate, replacement of chlorine occurs before reaction with the side chain, while the minor products formed provide evidence that the side-chain alkylation proceeds by addition of thiolate to the tautomeric quinone methide form of the methylquinone.
